All Aboard!
Chapter 15 of TQSiT, Folly, is up.
We have, in no particular order:
A word about that last one, but frankly, I'm more interested in what you thought. Susan is kissing someone who is not Caspian, Peter, or Rabadash. Further, it is consensual and her consent is not ambiguous, in fact, she is the initiator. Susan and sexual violence seem to show up a fair bit in fandom and that is obviously not something I want perpetuate at all. Fandom needs those story lines the way I need more dog hair in my shoes.
Further, there is, admittedly, a "squick" factor because of her apparent age, of which Tebbitt is ignorant and Guy knows full well. So, I go there, but only so far, which makes her initiation and control of the situation even more important. This is not Susan's first time in this situation, I wanted to assure an equality of power, i wanted "no" to mean "no," and I wanted her to really desire this and still have the wisdom and intellect to stop. So yes, a total fantasy, I suppose. This is one I've been thinking about a whole lot and am really curious to see what folks think.
We have, in no particular order:
- The return of Evil Banker Morgan and Jina
- A refutation of the incest stories (which I sort of felt I needed to do in order to write a Peter & Susan relationship without the Peter/Susan connotation.
- A build out of the ideas of Ilysia on Susan and Rabadash
- And, in the Spare Oom part, kissing.
